A.I.S. RESOURCES GUAYATAYOC MINA, NORTH ARGENTINA
COMMENCED BRINE SAMPLING 29 JAN 2019
PACKER TEST 295-305 Metres.
Vancouver, British Columbia – January 30, 2019 – A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX-V – AIS, OTCQB:
AISSF) (the “Company” or “AIS”) is pleased to announce that brine sampling commenced at the
Guayatayoc Mina in Northern Argentina on January 29, 2019 at 295 metres depth. The target
depth is 400 metres.

Brine sampling using a handheld resistivity meter has provided the following encouraging
results and confirms the previous results at 200m:
- Resistivity 188.5 ms (micro siemens) (three times the salt concentration of sea water
which is 54 ms)
- Specific Gravity is 1.15 (fresh water is 1.0) (lithium brines are usually 1.2-1.25)
- Ph is 6.85 (slightly acid which is possibly due to the presence of chlorides that combine
with Li, Ca, Mg, and other elements)
Brine samples will be sent to SGS in Buenos Aires for testing and to Geoanalytics in Tucson to
measure porosity and brine release characteristics. SGS will take about 10-14 days to process
the samples after they receive them. The next packer test for brines will be at 325 metres where
the maximum resistivity contrast occurred.

Phil Thomas CEO said that, “Core coming out has been very encouraging as is the increase in
specific gravity. In places the clays are soaked and we are not able to retrieve the core due to
the brine levels which is good. The packer brine sampling test results will tell us in the next few
weeks if the contrast between fresh water and salt water is lithium enriched brines.”
